List of composers (143 words) |
 | A strong distinction is made amongst composers, lyricists and performers in such genres as classical and jazz. |
| In other genres, such as popular and folk music, the term "songwriter", meaning someone who authors both music and lyrics, is more common than "composer"; a songwriter who also performs is a "singer/songwriter." |
| Many classical composers have also written music for films. |
| Afro-European classical music (2114 words) |
| For some prominent composers, such as Amadeo Roldan (Cuba) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (Brazil), Afro-Creole traditions were the principal source of inspiration and thus a significant component in the expression and affirmation of their countriesÂ’ national identities. |
| Some colonial-era composers had already written secular villancicos and operas, the first of which was produced in 1701 in Lima, Peru. |
| Nationalist composers, like many writers and thinkers of the time, looked to their countriesÂ’ historical roots in order to create a distinctly national form of expression in art music. |
